Who created the lesson plans?
Ava (@pilot.avabelle), a current airline pilot and E175 simulator instructor with Boeing 737 and Embraer 175/190 type ratings, created these lesson plans.
Previously, Ava served as a lead flight instructor and check airman at the University of North Dakota (UND), where she administered 100+ certificate-granting checkrides and personally trained 40+ students with a 100% oral checkride pass rate.
Her experience teaching, evaluating, and flying professionally shapes these lesson plans, helping you explain concepts clearly, connect them to real-world flying, and teach with confidence.
Are these for my instructor checkrides or for teaching students?
Both! Use the lessons to organize and practice your teaching for your CFI, CFII, and MEI checkrides, then as a reference when instructing students.
They’re a starting point to personalize, not a script to memorize. You’ll still need to understand the material, adapt it to your airplane, and practice teaching it in your own words.
Does this bundle include the CFI, CFII, and MEI Checkride Study Guides?
No. This bundle includes lesson plans only. The CFI, CFII, and MEI Checkride Study Guides are separate products.
The lesson plans help you prepare what you’ll teach. The checkride study guides help you practice the questions you’ll be asked, using mock oral-style questions and separate answer keys. They support different parts of your preparation.
Can I customize the lesson plans?
Yes! The lesson plans are provided as editable PDFs, so you can add your own examples, adjust explanations, and tailor aircraft-specific systems, limitations, and procedures using your airplane’s POH/AFM.
You get an organized starting point without having to build every lesson from a blank page.
Are the lesson plans ACS/PTS-aligned, and will I receive updates?
Yes. The lesson plans are designed around the applicable ACS/PTS, and updates are included.
Updated versions are emailed to customers when revisions are released, so you can incorporate those changes into your preparation and teaching.
Will I receive physical binders, or is this a digital download?
This is a digital product with instant download access after purchase. The binders shown in the product images represent the lesson-plan sets; no physical books or binders are shipped.
You’ll receive the files so you can start reviewing and personalizing your lessons right away.
